O Brighton voltou a vencer na Europa. Nesta quinta-feira, o time de Fabian Hurzeler ganhou por 1 a 0 do Getafe, onde Malick Yalcouye marcou de cabeça no segundo tempo e colocou os Seagulls no top 8 da Conference League.
Yalcouye, internacional pela Costa do Marfim, estava entre as cinco mudanças que Hurzeler fez no time que havia vencido por 1 a 0 o Manchester City. A confiança do técnico deu resultado quando o meio-campista abriu o placar aos 64 minutos.
Por boa parte da noite, o time da Premier League esteve nervoso, com Jaouen Hadjam acertando a estrutura do gol duas vezes. O gol saiu quando Costinha cabeceou de volta na frente do gol e Yalcouye completou de perto.
Ibrahim Osman, que entrou como substituto, desperdiçou uma chance de perto para fazer o segundo, mas o Brighton não foi punido. O time havia empatado em 0 a 0 com o Jablonec na saída europeia anterior.
O resultado leva o Brighton ao quinto lugar, com três partidas da fase de liga ainda por jogar, e o time segue invicto após três jogos.
Hurzeler falou à TNT Sports depois do jogo:
“Foi o que esperávamos. Os jogos da Conference League são diferentes; você tem que furar o bloco baixo e tem que ter paciência.”
“Não jogamos o nosso melhor jogo; tivemos momentos em que estivemos preguiçosos. Mas ficamos com o zero no placar e marcamos um gol. Merecemos vencer este jogo.”
“É sempre importante encontrar soluções. Tenho que elogiar meu time.”
“Meus jogadores fizeram isso hoje, não no nível mais alto, mas tínhamos que vencer.”
